1-6-10

Hi all!

I didn't post this yesterday but yesterday was Heart day, for anyone who knows me, yesterday 1-5 was the day my dad got his new heart. So yesterday was the 1 year mark from when he got it. I will never forget when he called me. He acted like it was just a routine call and then he said they have a heart for me and I am going in this afternoon. I was elated and scared all wrapped in one, but we had a good number day 01-05-09. We are so thankful for the gift that has been given to us, someone made a selfless decision and let their loved ones organs be donated to those in need. So my dad is here today living his life and we are so grateful.

Now onto savings.....Today I went to 2 grocery stores and 2 Walgreen's stores. Walgreen's--spent $15.79 saved $36.20
Piggly Wiggly--spent $10.98 saved .80--there were no coupons and it was a small trip.
Pick N Save--spent $103.32 saved $53.18

So at Walgreen's they had Reach total care (I think that is the name) toothbrushes that had a $2 coupon in the WAGS flier. So I paired that with the MQ from the paper that was B1G1. Same with the Dental Floss. I had an overage of .22 cents for those 4 items. Then I bought hair dye that also was on sale at WAGS and had a $2 off coupon in the paper this last weekend. I also had a $1 and $2.50 rewards coupons that were from a transaction I did earlier in the day. I paid OOP 3.14 on that transaction and saved 23.28.

My deals today at the Grocery store were as follows:
Fiber One cottage cheese 2.89x2=5.78-$4 in coupons paid 1.78 for both
Robitussin 3.98-$2=1.98
Atkins bars 2 for 9 - $4 in coupons paid 5 bucks for both boxes (1 box is regularly 7.09)
Crescent rolls bought 4 at 2.25=9 bucks-$4 in coupons 5 bucks for all 4 tubes (made them 1.25 a piece)
Dunkin Donuts coffee each 7.05x2=14.10-$4 in coupons, paid 10.10 for 2
Cinnamon rolls bought 6 total 15.98-$6 in coupons made them 9.98 for 6 (made them 1.66 a piece).

So that was my trips today. Some days I can get stuff for free or really really cheap. The most expensive today was the ground Turkey, it is 6.99 a package and I did have a coupon for $1 off 2 and I did use that today as well.

Total savings today 90.18
